A fun little survey.

So I havn't updated in like over 2 weeks! I need to get back on the ball with this blog.
I have 2 more weeks left in this semester and then a nice 2 week break and Im so excited about that. I can't wait to be done with school....I still have another 2 years but it will be totally worth it once I get that bachelors degree and I am a teacher! Being a teacher will be so great for me because I will get to have summers and holidays off with my babies.
Here is a little mommy survey for fun! If you are reading this you are tagged and have to do the survey!

4. How did you find out that you were pregnant?
- Well I was late and Chris had just left to drive back to Wichita Falls and I randomly decided to take a test. After I took the test I forgot that I had taken it and went to the mall with my mom. When I got back home I remembered I took it and went to go check it and totally freaked out! In a good way of course ;)
5. Who did you tell first?

Camden's First Easter!











I can't believe that Camden is 10 months old now and we have just celebrated his first Easter! Chris and I had so much fun getting everything together. I will forever cherish these memories with him. We love being parents so much its just unbelievable. We started the morning waking up and getting ready for church. We put hair spray in Camden's hair for the first (and last) tim ever! I wanted him to have a nice combed hair do for church but I realized right after I did it that his hair has totally become part of his personality so we are going to let it stand up from now on! Its just so cute. We all three came down stairs and Chris and I just loved the expression on Camden's face when he saw what the Easter bunny had brought him. His easter eggs were full of animal crackers and puffs so that he could eat them. After we let Camden see his goodies we headed to church where we got to hear a great sermon and see Calling Levi! I absolutely love them! They are fabulous. I am so thankful for what Jesus did for me and that he rose again!

So Easter Sunday also happend to be my 21 birthday. We went out to eat at Olive Garden with good friends that night and we had a good time. I am a lucky girl to get to share my birthday with such a significant day!

Thats all for now.
Much love and God bless,
Sarah
